Jan 23 No-bids Apple

Apple is looking to build a new US campus but says it won’t be launching a bidding process, unlike Amazon, which last week announced a shortlist of 20 North American cities as possible location for its planned HQ2 second headquarters.

The company says it has narrowed down the number of possible sites for the new $30bn facility and that it definitely won’t be in its home state of California, nor in Austin where is already has customer service and assembly operations.

The destination of the new campus, which will initially house technical support capabilities customers, will be announced later in the year.
